New York: Hold your breath. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) media lab have designed a wearable book that makes readers quite literally feel what the book's characters are feeling.

The book, titled The Girl Who Was Plugged In, is part of an MIT project called 'Sensory Fiction'.

The book includes 150 LED lights and a series of sensors and actuators wired to a vest that readers wear.
